Eating, eating, eatingg...

I am 9 weeks along and am feeling pretty good, no mad cravings yet although I have gone off a lot of food and my appetite has dropped dramatically and I am tending to eat A LOT first thing in the morning. Does anybody else find this? As the day goes on I tend to feel ickier and don't want anything to eat, yet I am waking up hungry and eating everything in sight!

Instead of having cravings for food I have gone off a lot of food - is this common? You only ever hear about people craving really weird food combinations yet I don't have any and am just going off food instead!

hi Natalie

Im 7 weeks pregnant and Ive gone off all sorts of foods, in fact there is very little that doesnt taste odd or make me feel sick.

I remeber it from my last pregnancy too so it is normal to feel like that and it took a while before I got any cravings, mine were for sausage and egg McMuffins and for beetroot lol

As for your appetite, try and eat healthily but eat regularly to try and prevent that feeling of ickiness.

Hi Red - conragtlations :-)

I am still eating lots of fruit and trying to eat cooked veg, but salad just makes me want to heave!

I can't wait for the 'fun' part of pregnancy to begin (please tell me there is a part where you actually begin enjoy it!) ;-P

once the morning sickness period finishes you should start to feel a lot more energetic and normal again.

Then once you can feel baby moving its a great stage of pregnancy.

It does get uncomfortable towards the end again though but no need to worry about that yet lol

Eugh everytime someone mentions food I start losing all my colour! I think its normal but its still is horrible.
I feel ill 24/7 - I want these 12 weeks to hurry up and be over so I can be "human" again....
Natalie, have you started putting any weight on yet?

Hey girly, no not yet - if anything I am losing weight but eating like a pig during the morning! I haven't been able to work out lately though and I guess due to the raspberry (apparently that's how big it is at the mo!) my tum is bloated but I haven't put any weight on as yet - touch wood. You?

[girlygirl2]

Yeah loads and I'm not eating at different! I think it's twins (
(wishing!) xxxx

AWWW thank you lilyfrog, thats very sweet of you!

You are so lucky natalie, I put on 6lbs by the time i was 6wks pregnant and i darent look at scales anymore lol. Im already in maternity clothes and feel so huge.

Perhaps we are both expecting twins girly?

Hi Natalie, I too cannot eat anything savory at the moment at any point of the day. I can eat fruit and sweet thing but that is about it and i have been like this for over 3 weeks now and i am so fed up and just want to eat a proper meal. I tend to feel sick more as the day goes on and a few times i have actually been sick at night. It feels like i am going to be like this all the way through but everyone keeps reasuring me it will end soon.

I have put i little pick of weight on around my middle but lost weight in other places.

Keep me updated with your progress.
